    In my previous industry I was a dispatched field service tech, they informed us in training we were not under any circumstances to change any tires, at all. That the insurance company refuses to allow the field guys to change them for fear we might not tighten a lug down enough then have an accident killing someone

    Indeed. Too worried about a lawsuit instead of possibly saving a life.

    I recall when we lent a hand now and then. Didnt think twice.

    Still did. However, things are a changing a little bit and it's probably not for the better.

    It's best the bosses never knew what we have done with their equipment now and then. If they found out.. we would have been so fired.

    I just had a family friend thats been out there flatbedding since I was a kid drop dead in his truck from a major heart attack. Thank God he was just finishing up securing his load and not driving, but you never know.

    Just goes to show it can literally be anything. Assuming because we're in the technology age that everyone has a phone for help doesn't mean they can actually use it when they need it.

    What color were his flip flops that's how I tell them apart. Usually you can see one propped up on the dash.

    LOL

    I have to comment,.. I've seen more trailer trash steering wheel holders wearing flip flops than anyone else.

    My carrier is Lithuanian and he likes to wear Converse Chuck Tailors or Puma's with his Adidas sweat pants. LOL
